Abstract

A laundry device is disclosed. A laundry device includes a body case that defines an exterior thereof; a drum mounted within the body case to hold the laundry; a plurality of circuit substrates installed on the body case separately, on which circuit parts are mounted; and a coating guide that holds each circuit substrate. Here, the coating guide comprises a plurality of housing parts on which the circuit substrates are mounted, respectively, and a connection part flexibly formed to connect the housing parts each other. The present invention provides a laundry device which includes a coating guide fabricated as one body to reduce production cost such that various circuit parts of a circuit substrate may be accurately corresponding to a through hole and a transparent window formed on a control panel regardless of an external curvature of the control panel when the coating guide is fastened to the control panel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A laundry device comprising: 
 a body case that defines an exterior thereof;    a drum mounted within the body case to hold the laundry;    a plurality of circuit substrates installed on the body case separately, on which circuit parts are mounted; and    a coating guide that holds each circuit substrate, wherein the coating guide comprises a plurality of housing parts on which the circuit substrates are mounted, respectively, and a connection part flexibly formed to connect the housing parts each other.    
   
   
       2 . The laundry device of  claim 1 , wherein the connection part is formed as one body with the housing parts.  
   
   
       3 . The laundry device of  claim 2 , wherein both opposite ends of the connection part are connected to a surface of the housing part and a surface of another housing part, which face each other.  
   
   
       4 . The laundry device of  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of connection part is smaller than the width of housing part.  
   
   
       5 . The laundry device of  claim 4 , wherein the connection part is configured to connect an entire portion between two surfaces of housing parts which face each other.  
   
   
       6 . The laundry device of  claim 4 , wherein the connection part is configured to connect some portion between two surfaces of the housing parts, which face each other.  
   
   
       7 . The laundry device of  claim 6 , wherein the connection part is provided in plural.  
   
   
       8 . The laundry device of  claim 1 , wherein the control panel is roundly projected forwardly from both opposite ends thereof toward a center thereof.  
   
   
       9 . A control assembly comprising: 
 a control panel installed on a front surface of a body case, wherein a user selects various operations for a laundry device;    a plurality of circuit substrates installed on the control panel separately on which circuit parts are mounted; and    a coating guide that holds each circuit substrate,    wherein the coating guide comprises a plurality of housing parts in which circuit substrates are held, and a connection part flexibly formed to connect the housing parts each other.    
   
   
       10 . The control assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the connection part is formed as one body with the housing parts.  
   
   
       11 . The control assembly of  claim 9 , wherein both opposite ends of the connection part are connected to a surface of the housing part and a surface of another housing part, which faces each other.  
   
   
       12 . The control assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the width of connection part is smaller than the width of housing part.  
   
   
       13 . The control assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the connection part is formed to connect an entire portion between the two surfaces of the housing parts which face each other.  
   
   
       14 . The control assembly of claim of  11 , wherein the connection part is formed to connect some portion of the two surfaces of the housing parts, which face each other.  
   
   
       15 . The control assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the connection parts is provided in plural.  
   
   
       16 . The control assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the control panel is projected roundly and forwardly from both opposite ends thereof to a center thereof.
